Summary: Want to Lose Weight? What You Need to Know about Eating and Exercise
What you eat is more important than how much you exercise. Exercise is not the most important thing to focus on when you want to lose weight — although it has numerous other health benefits, including maintaining a healthy weight. As Dr. Roberts’ lab has proved, what you eat and how much you eat play a substantially greater role in determining whether you shed kilograms. But her research has gone much deeper, showing that different people lose weight more effectively with different foods. This realization allows us to create personalized weight-loss plans for individuals that work better than any one-size-fits-all advice.
